winks that bad appear&l in England. It was from Ireland, at that period, that America was .almost entirely supplied with the proenctions of English literature. lie did not mean tr.), contend that that privilege should nor have been modified; but Ireland Lad been deprived or a most beneficial trade, with out any other compensation than the tWO Copies of which it was now proposed to deprive her. The Act by which this alteration bad been Ifccr shoohl not be repealed, for that would be far from the wish of the booksellers, but Ireland should' not, lose her compensation as she bad lost her trade.. , Mr, PP EL arlinitted - the propriety . of appointing a•tOminitte'e tip Af,iirs;to consider the allegations of the several Petitions; hilt be wished the second reading of the Bill to be postponed-till the Com mittee should have presented their report. A conversation enSaril, in which Mr. Wynne, Lord Palmewon, Sir J Newport, Sir W. Scott, Mr. Smythe, Lotd Castlereagh, Sir'S. find Mr. J. P.

ROYAL MESSAGE Mr. BROGDEN brought up cite Report of the committee on the Message, the Reso- Ititins ►rere rt-ad ,a first tune. Oil the question that they he reto a s eco.ci time, m i .. L A sigToN p ►upoacd that it should be this day A'A moutt:s. The amendment 1.1,%is and negatived without a di. ision The Resolution for granting 60001. a year to cis Royal'ilighness the Duke of Cambridge, and continuing the grant as a-tlower to the Princess of !Jesse, in case of her survial, were then read a. becond . time,._and agt eed to. When the resolutioti respecting the grant to her Koval Highness the Duchess of Cumberland bad, beet read, Lord Got`' thought that it would he satiStac tcry for the House to he made acquainted with the .sentiments with which her Royal Highness !lac: determined to accept the vote of the House. Her first sentiment was one of gratitude; but it soon was mixed With a delicate frar, that by, con , , car; in the inea-ure, she nitwit srciot to sepa rate her interests from those of his flOyAl Findinx; however, that'his Royal- High- Dess was eagerly desirouq, that whatever might hitppe , : to li i ttt , site shouthl be propetly provided thr, she had sacrificed her feelings to his own, 'and with sincere gratitude epred the vote of 'the ffinise; hopi!tg that. she in!ght riot prove burthen to the couiitry. Lord ,CASTLF.IIFAqH added his testimony to that 'of the Noble Lord. tier Royal Hi t ,:hoess bad kit all that delicacy, and had auly 'yielded to the ear ' nest entreaties of her Royal Cow.ort. She might, perhaps, have b een . kiss intlined to g?Ve_way, had the vote, bein'oue of actual beui tit to her ; hut as it . was only an evetruAl contin g ency, which she Loped . ntight never happen, sire gratefully accepted — the kindness tif - the House; IIeSS.

Tire Ite§olut.i'on tva- ligwee(l to. .coTto's FACTORIES. - • On the motion of Sir R. PEEL, the Report of the Cotton Factories' Bill was brought up and the Bill itself re.comnint ed. On the clause which fixes tilt hotirs of lahour for chi!then, Mr. \VILBERFORCS expressed in opinion that more than bite class should be made out of those who Were between nine and s;xteen years of age. SIN wished that from nine till twelve or thirteen, they should only work sever) hours a day, instead of elo.ven. Sir It, PEEL was understood to defend the Clause EtS it stood. Lord LASCRLLES wished, if the Honsemeant to act fairly, ;hat it tvot i ld give an oppoilunity to the. parties ‘vho considered themselves to have been , catiminiated, to be heard in defence of their cha racter. Mr. RoansTsot.t thought that Many Members had left the I Zonse in the expectation that the clauses of the Bill wo..dd not be discussed. - This, was, however, the only opportunity on which the prin ciple of the measure could be debated, and if the present clause wet e stiti:cred to pass,. without fur ther investigation,. that opportunity would be Fost. Jit this dilemma, 'lie did not know exactly ,what course should be pursued. • Mr. Wvstig suggested, that if it was nOt in tended to destroy the Bill , . the best course to be ((Mowed would'. be to move, that the Chairman should report progress, and ask leave to sit again, Alr. -PEEL saw no reason for postponement. Most of the Gentlemen who had left the House be believed he could say were favourable to the liilL, and it could be debated in its future progress. Mr: \V. SMITH was against insciting the age _of nine, thatigh he had suffered it to pass. lie was of - opinion that it should be ten. ti e s aw no reason why. the Bill might not go through its pre sent stage, and be discussed on its re-commitmept. SirJonN NEWPORT was in favour of proceeding with the present stage of the Bill, .The mote the. agitation the measure had occasioned was pro longed,,the mote it would be a subject of regret. • A desultory conversation took place against the discussing the Bill in a thin House, in which Mr. Blackhiwn, • Mr. Huskisson, Lord Stanley, Mr. Peel, Mr.Phi!lip&(who strongly objected to the Bill on the ground that such interference would do harm) Sir T. Admit!, and Mr. W. Smith par t icipat ed. Mr. CANNING professed his desire of - bearing a full discussion, as he was not in the habit of pay ing attention to discussions on Petitions. He was iltsirous to come to s complete understanding on the subject, and, was di appointed in not having beard a toll discussion of the principle before go ing into the details. But by the pencee.lings of this day, the HOuse got into the details with - out hearing that discussion. Tbe subject was ott4 of a very delicate anti COMPileatetl hat ore, anti therefore Whatever was - to be done, should he done with the greatest cantion and coolness._ tie suggested that the debate could take place on the, question for bringing up the Report. The conversatioo'coroinned some time longer; hut it entirely related to the forms of the House, flint the most convenient period for having a toll discussion on the pdociple of the Bill. 1t was length-agreed that the Bill should now be re ported- to the Hose with its titnntrienttafhe Report was then brought uP and read, and arrer e to be re-committed on Monday. Mr. CounTeNAY Soggested as the Report of the Poor Laws Bill was to be considered on Monday, the House might get into the same 'de, lemma on this very important subject. He was understood to wish it to he postponed, lest there should-nor be time to go into the debate upon it. . Mr. PEEL thought it might take its . course on that day;as Wednesday and Friday were engaged. .The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, seeing an Ron. and Learned Gentleman in his place, wished to know if it was his intention to bring ,forward his motion ont he prosecutions for forgeries .of Bank Note - s, which stood for this.evening ; . bot Which, considering -its importance, and the .state ut the (louse, be trusted he- would not feel in , dined to do. Sir J. M NrKINT(AII had no hesitation in saving, that co , ,sidering the great jrnportance of the sub ject, and the convenience of bringing it before the [louse when its attention was less excited than it had lately been, he was dispoSed to post pone his motion till Toesday, • • • . Mr. I\IaNNLNO said a few .words on the great importance of the subject. It was one on which very erroneous impressions had gone abroad, par-, ticularly that expence-‘ras the reason why.ce► taio recommendations for printing notes that could not be torgt-d had not been attentled to. This report, he could assure the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, was perfectly unfounded. He was continuing, when The SP: - AxFa begged leave to suggest, that it was irregular to go into any details, as it would lead other Gentlemen to telly, and at prrsent there was no question before Lhe House COMMITTEE O} SUPPLY. The House having gone into a Committee of Supply, .• , Mr. PEEL rose to submit the Irish Estimates fer the present year. Ile observed that it- was not necessary_ 'to take up the time of the HouSe by going into any • detail. lie should therefore merely move the usual anneal Grants ;. and he had only to state, that lie should' propose no ad ditional number, and that in no case, except one, was there any addition to soy braech. The woOld recollect, that the aggregate of last . year's Estimates producer) .a saving of 123,0001. and that this Was not c ffected by a return of peace, but by a reduction of the votes. In this year there was a -still farther diminution, amounting on the ' whole: to about .10,0001. and the total amount - was upwards of 13,0001. With respect to the Charitab!e Instigations, there was no ad ditional charge, particularly from the strong doubts lie entertained of the policy of some 'of those Institutions,- and, the hope he entertained of making. such alterations' in them as might be found ne.'essaty. lie doubted the p o licy of the e ieient of some of these Institutions, particul ar ly settle fr wreieo e tee' eaa y eee-eeare-ehae-T -afforded to personi from tall parts, had a tendency to increase rather than diminish human wretched. tress and misery, by drag rag people from the country in greater numbers than could ;gain •With respect to the Charitableinstitti ;ions, they -were eight sir nine in number, and amongst them-there-had been a considerable dimi nution of expeuce. The Right lion. Gentleman then read a statemen( of the' decrease that had taken place in the different Secieties. In the Depamtment of the .Board of ‘Votki, which eras 15,000/. last year, there Was a tec._X-ease this year of about 10001. With respect to the grant' for the seceding Ministers, it - S - tintoent was the same as before ; but it was paid by a new vote this - year, as, its payment was taken from the. Treasury, hy the new arrangement. Ott the whole, the total decrease this year 'was 85931. to he added to, the 123,000/. of ihe lamer year. He . should .now move the first Resolution, "'That there be.grant ed to his Majesty the sum of 13;3311. for the ex pence of supporting the Protestant Charity Schools for one year, from the Ist of J:ennary, 1818. •Sir JOHN NEWPORT observed, that this sum was in addition to very large fends which these Esta blishments had from other sources, and which might amount to 90001. or 10,0001; 0 year, (or the cdecat ion of only 1,400 . children. It would ap pear that this was extravagance beyond all bounds ; 'as the items for officers' salaries, and the wages, salaries, and diet of ushers, amounted to 7,4201. annually. ,There was also a sum of 7201. for the catechist's salaries. .Now he thought this was money thrown away, as this duty ought to be performed by time Parochial Clergy where the schools were situated, they having but little duty to perform, He was aware that these schools be ing typropriated to Catholic children only had been done away with since the Union.; but still a considerable larger number of children might be educated for timia sitm, if there were,proper•ma nagement. He hoped the-House would believe that there was no man more sensible than him-. self of the advantages to be expected from the general education of the lower classes ; and his only object in making these remarks •was, to ren der a large sum of the public money applicable to the largest possible extent. Sir G. 1111.4 said, he was - full as anxious to see these Charity Schools made subservient to much more general purposes as the Hon. Baronet could be ; and he assured him, that the manner in which they had been conducted bad attracted the atten tion of many Gentlemen, particularly of those who had formed . the Commission of ; and it had been determined to renew their examination in the course yf the simmer. 'He could assure him that the doors of these Institutions were open to every class of poor children, without any reli gious distinction - whatever. He thought it would be advisable to enlarge the Schools alreadyesta.-, blishelle As to the CateOists, there were .36 Schools, and each had a Catechist, who had ime. portant duties to perform, by ascertaining whe ther the children were in competent con; of instruction, religion! alai Moral. It wA's icy tii - C constant Attention of those Catechist 'that the Institutions were likely to'be successful. Sir Jon NI Nelvr.okT, in explanation, said, drat his principal objection was, that the 36 establish ments should only educate 1430 children. Mr. PEEL said, he had hopes that great itnprokre ments might be ititroditced, in consequence of the exertiims of the Commission of 11 , 9 airy. Some rednet;ons had • already taken place in. ,these Sciwols, ,anTirit vt'he recettimended that the children should be removed to four of the 'greatest establishments. The amount of the vote, it should be recollected, was not for education only, but for clothing and maintenance. The numby• of children in all the Schools at present was 2,430 ; the average expence of their diet was 61(1. a day . ; the clothing of the boys came to 21. Ds. a year, and that of the gills to 21. The Society had funds of their own, which amounted in prosperous years to,80,0001.; but lie watt afraid they y had not been so ptoductive of late, owing to the circumstances of the times. Mr. GRATTAN said a fe t w words in favour of the Institution, n;hich he thought ought to he watch ed over, aryl the expences of the Masters be re duced-. Alt.LoexllAßT depiecated the system of giving ally thing more than education to the Children of the poor. Parents ought to be taught.the duties their children nwed to society, and to plant prin ciples of exertion in their minds, in..tead of hohr ing out to them that there are Institutions iu which they t . 'hay be supported. After a few words from Mr PARNELL, Mr. W. SMITH, and Mr. WILBItRPORCE, the. Resolution was agreed to. The next ResOltition, for a grant of 32,5151. for the snpport of the Irish Foundling Ho-pital, led to a brief conversation, in which Mr. Loctui ART deprecated all such Establishments, as ten►iing to the promotion instead of the' dwrease of vice, and Mr. l'Ae NELL regretted the. loss of lives occa sioned by the trans f erring the children to poor out-door nurses in winter. - Mr. PEEL stared the number of children within the Institution to be I IS4; trnd those put out to muse in the country 6944, The ilesolntio . o WHS thell agreed to, as- was one of 36,646 h for the 'support of the House of Industry, and the tar and Asylum for lodnstrions Childiett. r 1 4 Lie following grants were then '.voted 'For the support of the,liichmotiOLunatic ,C 7,035 To the Hibernian Society fur Educating Soldicfb' Children ...
